Ed is thinking of. number. If he adds four to his number, the result is less than 6. Write and solve an inequality about Ed's number

n + 4 < 6

n < 2

Thank you

You're welcome.

To write an inequality about Ed's number, let's assume that Ed's number is represented by the variable "x".

According to the given information, if Ed adds four to his number (x + 4), the result is less than 6. Mathematically, this can be expressed as:

x + 4 < 6

To solve this inequality, we can isolate the variable x by subtracting 4 from both sides of the inequality:

x + 4 - 4 < 6 - 4

Simplifying the equation gives:

x < 2

So, the inequality representing Ed's number is x < 2. This means that Ed's number is any value less than 2.
